>Sword and Shield introduced the galar region and UK bias goes hard, creating a good dynamic with merging open-world with the traditional routes, alongside great replayability in dynamax raids/adventures and a dex with 70% bangers.>BDSP bringing the concept of the underground to the switch, alongside playing DPPt without the heavy team restrictions due to the eight HMs>Legends Arceus having quite possibly the best aesthetic of any pokemon game with it's old watercolour vibes, alongside the gameplay being quite possibly the best feeling. if some people call it a "tech demo" then good god it's the best damn tech demo there is.although, I must admit, gen 7 is definitely tied with it.
>Sun and Moon introduced a beautiful atmosphere that I adore going back to just to take in the region itself. Full of amazing characters and lovely sights. It gives me the feeling of adventure I longed to have as a kid, and it was just glorious.
